This comes as the third major victory for Djokovic in this year after earlier winning the Australian Open and the Wimbledon. Had Wawrinka not beaten him in the French Open final in June this year, the serb would have managed a more than perfect calender year in his career.

Djokovic now comes level with the likes of American Bill Tilden and just one shy of leveling Rod Laver.

Although Federer competed gallantly, what proved his undoing were his 54 unforced errors and his inability to convert 19 out to 23 break points.

The match was attended by celebrities like Sean Connery, David Beckham and Robert Redford. The match eventually started in the evening after a three hour delay due to rain.
